  • Fantastic build quality and design, extremely long battery life, multi-touch trackpad, beefy processor and RAM options
  • RAM upgrades are expensive through Apple, no anti-glare display coating option, battery can’t be removed
  • The 13in Apple MacBook has gone Pro, with more memory, beefier processors and an embedded battery that outlasts similar-sized notebooks we’ve tested. We would prefer an option for a more powerful graphics card though. ...

  • Abstract:  Until now, Apples MacBook Pro range has only come in 15 and 17 inch models - meaning if you wanted the convenience of a 13 inch Apple notebook then you had to forgo some of the advanced features of the MacBook Pro and opt for a MacBook. The new 13 inc...

  • Nonremovable battery, No matte screen or discrete graphics options

  • Attractive looks, LED backlight display, long battery life, multitouch pad is great to work on,
  • No FireWire and SD card reader. Battery is not user replaceable,
  • Costing in at $999 we think this Apple MacBook is a great alternative to the expensive MacBook Pros buy it if you can accept the absence of SD card slot and FireWire port. ...

  • Seriously solid unibody design shrunk down to more portable proportions. Dazzling performance for a machine this small (just 4.5 pounds). SD card slot. Love the backlit keys.
  • Teensy keyboard, puny arrow keys. LCD could be brighter. Nonremovable battery doesn't last "all day" as advertised (reality: not quite four hours with a DVD going).

  • This ultraportable is a great balance of both features and functionality for a fairly reasonable price (when considering other Macs). The ergonomics generally please the consumer as intended, especially the state-of-the-art trackpad and unibody aluminu...
